Two year old interview should be labeled as such.

This is the correct way. Linking to a link to the story is not.

I feel like a lot of folks who use the label "anarchists" don't really understand the concepts behind anarchism.

Heck, I missed huge announcements when I was on social media because social media thought that the stuff they had to show me was more important.

And that is your right. Find someplace that honors your personal beliefs and give them your hard earned money. I will do the same, but at Costco.

Disturbed - "A Reason to Fight"

Quite the broad paint brush. Many of us will look at a train going off of the rails and make different travel plans.

Kinda doesn't seem necessary to make this about Trump, but you are entitled to your conspiracies.

Usually if the police are raiding your business they have had to support their request for a search warrant.

If a large company installs data onfuscating kill switches in the event of a police raid, it's fair to believe that it's not to protect customer data.

There can be both government oversight to bring the issues to light, and consumer action based on those issues.

Government findings and/or fines do not affect the bottom line enough to change behaviors. Only sufficient numbers of consumers willing to change buying decisions will ever stop corporations from doing things that they shouldn't.

A full self driving bank at that.

Did people really think that billionaires wanted to buy major press outlets for profit expectations?

Controlling the narrative was always the plan. Unless it's private equity. They just strip it bare and put it out of business.

Kinda surprised that no one has pointed out than an I7 is grossly overpowered for "spreadsheets and web apps". Seems better to get something that has long battery life with a CPU that uses less watts.

I'm of the mind that if we had the best in the field educating the next generations and compensated them well that we would end up with better qualified graduates. It seems like this would be the result at all levels of education, really.

In America we are doing the opposite, and then wondering why the results are sub optimal.

The plastic cartridges go out of alignment through blade nicks and that sort of thing before they get dull. Running them across old jeans in the opposite direction that they shave will fix it.

Civilian casualty either way.

First adopters are now the beta, or even in some cases alpha, testers and will continue to be for as long as there are enough people willing to sacrifice stability for having the newest tech.

That is I believe called a "shart".
